Course Information:

Swim:

The swim is in a protected cove with calm waters at South Shores Park.

The start is in the water about 50 in front of the boat ramp-the swim is rectangular.

Swimmers will keep the buoys on their left shoulder, except when finishing the swim into the boat ramp.

Bike:

Athletes will then bike from South Shores Park to Fiesta Island and complete two large loops around the island and then return to the transition area.

The final (2 loop) 3 mile run will be on walkways and on an offroad dirt trail.

The run portion of the race is 2 loops.

Please make sure to complete both loops of the run course to prevent disqualification.
